Ingredients
- 8 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate bars
- 4 ounces white chocolate bars
- Valentine’s sprinkles, M&Ms, pretzels, conversation hearts, or other candies
Instructions
- Lay a large piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat flat on the counter. Open sprinkles, pretzels, or any other toppings and have them nearby.
- Melt the two types of chocolate, dark or semi-sweet and white, at the same time. You can do this using either a double boiler or the microwave. To melt in the microwave, break the chocolate up into large pieces and place in separate medium microwave-safe bowls. Melt on 50% power in 45 second increments in the microwave, stirring after each burst, until both are fully melted and smooth.8 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate bars, 4 ounces white chocolate bars
- Pour the dark chocolate into a thin layer on top of the parchment or silicone mat. Immediately drizzle the white chocolate on top, then use a small knife or a toothpick to swirl the layers together. Sprinkle the top with sprinkles, pretzels, or candy, as desired.Valentine’s sprinkles, M&Ms, pretzels, conversation hearts, or other candies
- Let the bark set, uncovered, for about 1 hour at room temperature. When completely set, break into pieces of your desired size. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Notes
- Be sure to use chocolate bars or melting wafers for this recipe, not chocolate chips. Chocolate chips, of any variety, are specifically designed to resist melting into a smooth consistency. Instead use pure chocolate bars or melting wafers, such as Ghirardelli’s, Baker’s, or Lindt, or the pound plus chocolate bars sold at Trader Joe’s.
- For the white chocolate part, you can also use almond bark or candy melts, which are often available at well-stocked grocery stores as well as craft stores like Michaels.
- If you need to thin out one or both types of chocolate a little bit, mix in 2-3 teaspoons of coconut oil, let it melt and stir into the melted chocolate.
- It’s best to store chocolate bark at room temperature as long as it’s not very hot and humid where you live. If it is, it’s fine to store in the refrigerator instead.
